CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 2 NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim November 18, 2020 as GIS Day, and November 15 - 21, 2020 as GEOGRAPHY AWARENESS WEEK in the City of Dover and urge all residents to participate in this special observance. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen presented the proclamation to Mr. Mark Nowak, City of Dover GIS Manager. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - OCTOBER 13, 2020 The Council Committee of the Whole was held by video conference on October 13, 2020 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Hare presiding. Council members present via video or telephone were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler (arrived at 6:03 p.m.), Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Cole, Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell (arrived at 6:26 p.m.). Civilian members present via video or telephone for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell and Col. Dix (Ret.) (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), Mr. Shevock (departed at 8:16 p.m.) and Mr. Contant (Legislative, Finance, and Enhancement). PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Update on Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) (Captain Brooks of the Delaware Army National Guard) Captain James Brooks, Delaware Army National Guard, provided an update on Innovative Readiness Training (IRT). Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Harline stated that they have been planning for this project to move forward and that they had the money budgeted years ago to lay the fields. Mr. Robin Eaton, Parks and Recreation Director, stated that two fields would be added as a result of the project. Responding to Committee members' questions, Capt. Brooks provided the following information: • It would take 24 hours to turn the eyeglasses around and, at the very start, up to 48 hours for NOSTRA (Naval Ophthalmic Support and Training Activity) to take the prescriptions, manufacture the glasses, and get them back to them.

Page 6

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 3 • Once the glasses are delivered to the care site, they would contact the person to have them come in for the glasses. • They probably would not have a component where citizens could turn in old glasses for recycling because they manufacture glasses to specific sizes. • Regarding medical services, they were going to offer an annual physical and a chance to speak to a doctor. • They would not be providing any services that would create a blood product or more of a paper trail for them to have to follow up on. • Capt. Brooks would need to check to see if they would be doing COVID testing. If the tests were something that require a 24-hour or 48-hour turnaround time, as of right now, they are not set up to do that and they do not have the supplies in the supply line. If that was something that could be added, that would be a question back to the providers that would have more input in their services. • If there was a vaccine for COVID, he would hope that they would be able to provide that, but he was unsure. They have not been able to provide vaccines for things like zika, malaria, or even the common flu. • All three sites made available to them are from the Capital School District. Towne Point and South Dover Elementary are still going to be primary points of care. They have an unknown element to the mission at this point and that is where the third care site is going to be. The third care site was originally slated for Booker T. Washington School, but the damage it received during the tornado has possibly prevented them from being able to utilize that site. • Their portion of this was to craft the military specific messaging that goes out to the community, how the community wants to market it is completely up to them. They will answer any public relations or affairs questions that come their way and they provide very specific messaging. Presentation - Wilmington Hope Commission and Bobby Wilson Ms. Rachel Notten, Vice President of Booted and Suited Construction Academy, presented information regarding their program. Ms. Notten stated that Booted and Suited Construction Academy was a professional academy with a sensitivity to the unique needs that citizens returning from prison have in finding and retaining quality employment. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Anderson stated that the Wilmington Hope Commission and Booted and Suited were connected organizations. Ms. Notten noted that they would be working carefully and closely with the Wilmington Hope Commission. Mr. Slavin stated that he did not have a problem with the message that

Page 7

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 4 was delivered, but that they had Wilmington Hope Commission on the agenda and that they should talk about the Wilmington Hope Commission. Ms. Notten stated that they were going to emulate the programs of the Wilmington Hope Commission. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Notten stated that they have a space in downtown Dover on Loockerman Street. She advised that they were looking at a national curriculum and that they have clients who were ready to take people in after they were trained. Mr. Anderson stated that the idea that was communicated to him was that this was essentially from the people of the Wilmington Hope Commission and that this was their local effort in Dover. Mr. Anderson stated that he was not aware that they actually spun off of the organization, which was not the original plan. It was originally going to work through the Wilmington Hope Commission. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Notten advised that Booted and Suited was in the process of completing their 501c3 and that the academy program would be six weeks. Ms. Notten stated that there would be a process of placement once individuals were trained. Responding to Mr. Cole, Ms. Notten stated that they were working on a budget for 2021 and would provide them with where the funds would go. Responding to Mr. Lindell regarding the purpose of this item, Mr. Anderson stated that the first time the Wilmington Hope Commission came, they presented their overall vision and wanted to see if there was an interest in Dover. He advised that this particular time, they arranged for someone to start in Dover with community organizations and this was progress of something happening in Dover. Mr. Anderson advised that if they came before the Committee again, he would want specifics. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Anderson stated that his vision would be talking about funding and that it may be other partnerships. He stated that other partnerships and resources are available that have less to do with funding. Mr. Taylor stated that he introduced a company called Intermold Corporation to the Hope Commission with Mr. Wilson. He noted that they are a company that makes plastic parts and that they were willing to train people to make parts and fix machinery and that they were willing to arrange transportation. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Notten stated that mental health would also be a part of the program. She advised that the City of Wilmington currently has programs for mental health, but it was semi-related to the workforce development. She stated that their current program just trains and employs participants and does not have the mental health aspect of their organization. Ms. Notten noted that they wanted to have the resources readily available if there was a need because it was highly important, especially for someone that had been incarcerated.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 5 Library Reopening Plan Mr. Matthew Harline, Assistant City Manager, and Mr. Brian Sylvester, Library Director, reviewed the Library Reopening Plan. (City Clerk’s Office Note: During the Regular City Council meeting of September 28, 2020, Council members approved the Committee’s recommendation to refer this item back to Staff until a clear vision of guidelines and protocols are in place.) Staff recommended a partial capacity reopening the week of November 1st. If the Committee is in agreement the Committee should provide direction on sanitation requirements and no contact entry, then direct staff to proceed. Mr. Neil expressed his concerns regarding book pickup and asked if orders could be placed at the checkout desk to reduce the number of patrons searching for books on the shelves and their amount of time in the library. Mr. Sylvester stated that he thought it could be done and that it would not be meaningfully different from the way they manage the holds desk. He noted that from a physical building security standpoint, they would want to block off the stacks if they were to do that kind of a model, so the patrons did not browse, because that would eliminate the point of doing it. Mr. Sylvester stated that it was something they could consider. Responding to Mr. Harline, Mr. Neil stated that it was different from the current holds process, which is providing books through curb service. If they were going to eliminate curb service, he was suggesting that pick up be offered at the desk. Mr. Sylvester stated that it would work exactly the same as it has in the past and it would be treated the same as a hold. Mr. Cole stated that his concern was that the protocols would be visible to Staff and patrons so that everybody was on the same page. He asked what the vision was for enforcement, which he felt was going to be the hardest part. Responding, Mr. Sylvester stated that they have seven different signs on display in the building and that each pertains to a different element of the protocols. There was also signage about hand washing, social distancing, and mask requirements and obtaining assistance if the patron was not able to wear a mask. Mr. Sylvester noted there might be slightly different signage in the children's room and they were looking at decals that go on the floor to mark off the six-foot distances. They thought they would do something a little more child-friendly in that area. He advised that one of the main things that they were treating as a prerequisite for opening was to have security back onsite for enforcement of the requirements. Mr. Sylvester advised that they talked internally about initially having a Staff person at the front entrance to ensure that masks were being worn, that people understood what rules needed to be followed, and possibly enforcing building occupancy limits. He noted that Sunstate Security would come back in if people had already entered the building and were not observing the protocols. Mr. Sylvester stated that they would give a warning first and make sure that they understood the rules for compliance.

Page 9

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 6 Mr. Harline stated they budgeted for slightly more than 66 hours per week for Sunstate Security for all 52 weeks of the year. He advised that it was possible to enable one guard to continue the sweeps of the floors, which was part of the contract, and if they had numerous violations they could ask Sunstate to have a second guard onsite. Mr. Harline stated that if they gave Sunstate Security enough lead time, it might be possible. He noted that eventually it would become trespassing if people did not follow the rules and the next step would be to call the Dover Police Department. Mr. Lindell stated that he wanted to make sure that if it was determined that the library should close due to unforeseen circumstances, it would be in coordination with Mr. Sylvester and the City Manager. Responding, Mr. Harline stated that he would have no hesitation closing the library if they saw that there was a real risk to public health. Mr. Hare asked how Staff would know what to sanitize if someone who tested positive for COVID-19 went into the library. He expressed concern with Staff being exposed. Responding, Mr. Sylvester stated that they had no way of knowing whether or not somebody was positive and asymptomatic. He advised that the Governor's guidelines indicated that they should clean surfaces that are touched by customers at least every two hours. Mr. Sylvester noted that they could do that and have the custodial service team have a day porter onsite, it was a little bit less than $2,000 a month. He advised that they have saved enough on the security detail that they could afford to do that for the foreseeable future. Mr. Harline noted that he was aware of situations where people have worked in offices together with someone who tested positive and, because mask restrictions were required and enforced strongly, the disease was not passed to other employees. He stated that there would be a re-evaluation on November 16th with a report back to Council on November 24th, at which time they would report any such situations. Mr. Harline stated that there was no 100% risk-free process to provide the service to the citizens of Dover, but they were going to be cleaning surfaces, working hard, and enforcing the mask requirement very stringently for exactly that reason. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Sylvester stated that they had not planned to ask people to show their library cards. He noted that the library is a public facility, similar to a park, and they cannot really bar access on those grounds. Responding to Mr. Hare regarding security prior to the pandemic, Mr. Harline stated that they have had some guards that did not work out. He noted that they have removed many people from the library for sleeping and actually had the incident reports to show it, but they did not catch everyone. Mr. Harline advised that just before the pandemic hit, they were coordinating on reducing the number of warnings. He stated it was especially important now to make sure that the people in the library were there to use the library because of the increased of spreading the virus.

Page 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 7 Responding to Mr. Cole, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, stated that all department heads were reporting to Mrs. Kim Hawkins, Human Resources Director, to follow all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Division of Public Health (DPH) guidelines. She advised that Staff does temperature checks every morning and asks the four or five COVID-related questions and they document it each day, which are submitted to Mrs. Kay Sass, Public Affairs and Emergency Management Coordinator. Mr. Cole stated that he was supportive of a limited opening and that if there were any miscommunications with any of the safety protocols, he was also in support of shutting the library down immediately for the safety of the Staff and anyone involved. Mr. Sudler stated that he was not confident that it was the right time. He stated that he knew Staff had done a tremendous job in trying to put together a plan of action to meet their satisfaction in regard to their concerns. Mr. Sudler stated that until they had some form of vaccine or close to it, he thought that the library was too much of a hotspot and that it could be the host of a major outbreak in downtown Dover because of the element of individuals that are attracted there. He advised that he would be voting against it. Mr. Neil asked how much it cost for the temperature checks. He stated if there were several units that would be made available to Staff to check people as they come in, he thought it would be a step in the right direction to opening the library. Responding, Mr. Harline stated that the original proposal was not to do the temperature checks because they did not want large groups of people at the door, but if it was a matter of not opening without the temperature check, then they would do them, noting that 99.5 degrees would be the cutoff point. He noted that if they are going to do temperature checks, they are going to have to carefully calibrate the instrument. Mr. Sylvester stated that they have two handheld, infrared, no contact, thermometers onsite that are being used for Staff as they are checked in the morning. Responding to Mr. Taylor regarding the 60% capacity, Mr. Sylvester stated that they had not discussed any means of prioritizing who would get access. Mr. Taylor stated that at 60% capacity they were going to have the homeless population loitering there. He noted that they have students who want to get in and asked who was going to be the one to tell the homeless population that they have to leave. Responding, Mr. Sylvester stated that in a situation where the building was at capacity at that level, it would be both security and Staff. He advised that if the security guard was available to do it, they would ask them to, if not, Staff would. Mr. Sylvester noted that they have an Acceptable Behavior Policy which prohibits loitering, so on those grounds, they could ask somebody to leave. Internally, they define loitering as not using the library for its intended purpose. Mr. Taylor stated that he firmly believed that someone needs to make sure there is a priority list.

Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 8 Responding to Mr. Taylor regarding the sanitation process, Mr. Sylvester stated that it was a quarantine process. He advised that, for library returns, they come in through the book drop and are placed onto either a cart or in a transit bin, then they are marked with the day they were packed. Staff wears masks and gloves and frequently sanitizes their hands. He stated that those items are left for at least 72 hours, sometimes longer depending on whether it was a transit from another library or returned from a member of the public. Once that time period has passed, then they open it up and check the books. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Harline stated that the police department had a deep clean after they had an exposure. He advised that there are companies that provide a special clean based on a square footage. Mr. Harline noted that if they knew a Staff member was sick or if they found through contact tracing that somebody was positive, they would hire that service. Mr. Taylor stated that the police department knew of the exposure but there would be no tracing with the transient population. Mrs. Mitchell advised that when they do the temperature checks at City Hall they write down who the person is, what their temperature was, and ask them to answer the questions. If they do not know who is coming and going and writing that down, they cannot do any contact tracing. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Sylvester stated that they looked into other types of sanitation, specifically UV lighting. Mr. Sylvester advised that there are a couple of types of UV lighting that can be used, one is being used at Kent County Public Library. It is a sanitizer designed specifically for books and another one is an overhead sanitizer that can be installed. It is meant to be installed in a classroom but could also be an option for their meeting rooms. Mr. Sylvester stated that the problem with the one that goes into a room is that they would need to have the room empty of people for a full hour while it was being sanitized. He noted that it meant that they could use it in some of their spaces, but it would not be a viable option in all of their spaces unless they ran it overnight. Mr. Sylvester stated that it might not be a cost- effective cleaning measure if they were only doing a single deep clean with it. Mr. Sylvester stated that the primary objection he had to the book sanitizer was the volume of books that they would need to run through it. He stated that the one that the Kent County Public Library is using can only hold six titles at a time and it has to run for a minute. Mr. Sylvester noted the Kent County Public Library is a smaller library than the Dover Public Library and they have had to dedicate a staff person just to sanitizing items. The Dover Public Library would end up needing probably multiple units and end up having to dedicate multiple staff people to operate the units. Mr. Taylor asked if it would be beneficial if he introduced a company to the Committee and have them do a presentation about UV lighting. Responding, Mr. Harline stated they would certainly be willing to look at that option. He noted when it comes to the books, however, there was good evidence that a 72-hour wait was enough to eliminate the risk of transmission of corona viruses, particularly

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 9 COVID-19. Mr. Harline stated that they have filtration units in the HVAC system that meet the recommendations of the CDC and the cost to do the meeting rooms was not prohibitive. He noted that he would be interested to see if there was a solution for the general area, which is very large. Mr. Harline advised that 60% capacity for the library, not counting the multipurpose rooms, was 348 people. He stated that, counting in and out, they should be able to know when they are approaching 348 people in the library. Mr. Harline noted that the overwhelming opinion of Staff was that without special programming, they rarely have 348 patrons in the library at once. He stated that if it turns out that they were wrong, they will hold people at the door, and they can develop a protocol. Mr. Harline stated that the trouble with the protocol to remove people is, if Staff does not know when they came in, they are put in a situation of trying to evaluate how important somebody's purposes of being there and it would be difficult to do that just by looking at the age and the activity of the people. Mr. Taylor stated that the downtown merchants have been experiencing a huge recovery over the last few months and the merchants have noted that the City had taken on a whole new personality. Mr. Taylor stated that he was extremely reluctant to open the library, knowing that possibility exists. Mr. Cole stated that the library Staff and City of Dover Staff have, working with CDC and DPH, come up with safety guidelines. He advised that if they could be met, then they could start to open up just as they are opening up in his school districts. Mr. Cole stated that if they could move forward with a limited opening working with CDC guidelines, then they should move forward. If those guidelines cannot be met, then he suggested shutting it down. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the more she listened to the discussion, the more she was concerned with Staff because if contact tracing was part of the CDC guidelines and Staff comes in contact with a COVID positive person, there was no way of knowing because no one is reporting it to the Staff. She noted that she agreed that Staff was there to serve the public, but also agreed that they should not put them in harm's way. Mrs. Mitchell stated that in the City, they have appointments. Responding to Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Harline advised that when someone goes into Customer Service, they usually go to the counter and they can trace them that way. He noted that both in the library and in Customer Service they have cameras and if they ask somebody for their name, they do not request an ID. Regarding temperature checks, Mr. Harline stated that they were consistent, but he would be very surprised if it was accurate. Mrs. Mitchell stated that her concern with contact tracing was if the employees were not notified. Mr. Anderson stated that if somebody was getting contact traced with Public Health, they retrace their steps and they would tell them that they were at the library. Mrs. Mitchell stated that they would hope that they would tell them that they were at the library.

Page 13

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 10 Mr. Lindell moved to recommend that the library partially reopen the week of November 1st, as recommended by Staff, with additional details in the plan which include extra cleaning protocols, even if there was an additional cost involved, and no contact entry, and allow Staff to proceed with those instructions with the understanding that if there was a problem, they could close the library immediately. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole. Mr. Neil stated he wanted to include to mandate that Staff had a calibrated no-touch thermometer reading for everyone coming into the library. Mr. Cole seconded the amendment to the motion. Mr. Slavin stated that he was of the belief that they hire people in the City to do jobs for them, and they build trust in their ability to do that job. He stated that they have great trust in Mrs. Mitchell, Chief Johnson, Mr. Harline, and Mr. Sylvester and they have done those jobs. Mr. Slavin stated that he found that the discussions where now they were addressing what kinds of thermometers would be used at the library was really a recipe for bogging City government down if they were going to have Council be involved in the day-to-day operations at this level. He stated to just get these things done and that they have pitched this idea of safety to the library and they have said exactly what the point was and that was they cannot eliminate the risk, they could only reduce the risk and know what the risk was. Mr. Hare agreed with Mr. Taylor and Mr. Sudler. He stated that he knew it was going to be one way in and one way out. He asked when people come into the library have someone there that was going to write their name and check their ID, and the time they came in. Mr. Hare stated that it would be another control that could help because someone could come in at 9:00 a.m., not sign in or anything, and just be there all day. Mr. Neil moved to amend the motion to recommend the library partially reopen the week of November 1st, as recommended by Staff, with additional details in the plan which include extra cleaning protocols, even if there is an additional cost involved, and no contact entry, and allow Staff to proceed with those instructions with the understanding that if there is a problem, they can close the library immediately, and to mandate that Staff have a calibrated, no-touch thermometer reading for everyone coming into the library. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Neil, Cole, Rocha, Lindell, Caldwell, and Dix), three (3) no (Sudler, Taylor, and Hare), one (1) abstention (Anderson), and one (1) absent (Slavin).

By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Rocha and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Updates on the Progress of the Master Plans for Each of the Major Parks Mr. Matthew Harline, Assistant City Manager, and Mr. Robin Eaton, Parks and Recreation Director, provided and update regarding the progress of the Master Plans for each of the Major Parks. Responding to Mr. Neil regarding Mallard Pond Park, Mr. Eaton stated that they have a path and lighting that goes through that park and the tree limbs were starting to block some of the lighting, so they trimmed them from around the lighting. Responding to Col. Dix, Mr. Harline stated that there were many general notices. He noted that they are still in an early process and that more public input will be sought. Mr. Neil moved to recommend acceptance of the report, seconded by Mr. Taylor and carried with Colonel Dix voting no. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Rocha and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Gate/Park Security (Schutte Park) Mr. Matthew Harline, Assistant City Manager, reviewed the background information regarding the gate and park security at Schutte Park. Staff recommended 1. Create signage that specifies the hours for Schutte Park. 2. Proceed with a gate at the entrance to the main parking lot to the John W. Pitts Recreation Center. 3. Pursue options for a second gate across Electric Avenue directly south of the main entrance to the Pitts Center. 4. Look into installing security cameras in the Pitts Center Parking lot and near the skate park/dog park/playground areas. Mr. Neil stated that it seemed a little bit premature and that he would like to have more of the details. Col. Dix stated that he could leave the road at virtually the full length of the park and bypass any obstacle that they put at the intersection. Mr. Harline stated that was an accurate statement if someone was coming off of Hazlettville North Street. Mr. Harline stated that this would be a very good deterrent effect, but agreed with Mr. Neil that there were a lot of details they needed to work out. He noted that if they do not put up proper fencing to go along with the gates, they would be easily defeated.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 12 Mr. Harline advised that they were looking into the possibility of making it a requirement for people to register the space if they were going to have a party over a certain size. He noted that late night spontaneous parties in the hundreds have been seen in parks. Mr. Harline stated that they have almost always seen a huge mess left behind for Staff. He advised that there may be a constitutional issue and that may be impossible, but they would like to purse that option. Mr. Hare stated that Staff knew what they needed to do and it was up to them to put the plan together and state what they were going to do and do it. He noted that he did not know if they had to approve it to put a gate up to stop this. Mr. Slavin stated there was a reason why the Council Committee structure was set up to be a recommendation to Council and then two weeks later, Council took the matter up. He noted that it was meant for items that deserve a level of debate and time to take an involvement from the public to make critical decisions about the vision and strategy for the City. Mr. Slavin stated that it was absurd to think that they were requiring Staff to come to the Committee for a gate replacement that would take four weeks to get approved from Council before they could even begin the process of procuring and putting the solution in place. He noted that this was a recipe for slowing the City down to a crawl and that it has to stop. Responding to Col. Dix, Mr. Anderson stated that there is a certain dollar limit where the Committee gets involved in these decisions. Mr. Anderson stated that it was just the gate, but the whole security goes beyond that particular dollar limit. He noted that security was going to be fundamental to the master plan. Mr. Anderson stated that the security vision had to be addressed, which they see was a lot more than the gate in the report because if they were going to add amenities such as dog park and skate park in the back, there had to be an idea of the security that they were going to have in the future. Mr. Neil stated that he did not disagree with Mr. Slavin, but that they have to be informed so they are not blind sided. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:33 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Lindell presiding.

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 13 Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved that item #3 - Pay for Performance Evaluation System be postponed to another meeting, seconded by Mr. Sudler. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Harline advised that there were a couple of presenters from Siegel on the meeting who were ready to go. Mr. Lindell stated that he would like to hear at least the findings from the presenters tonight and perhaps not take any action on it to allow further digestion of the information. Mr. Slavin stated they could listen to the presentation and pass it onto Council with no recommendation and then be prepared to rehear it again at the Council meeting to take action in two weeks so there was no delay in the process. Mr. Neil withdrew his motion. Mr. Sudler withdrew his second. Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Downtown Dover Partnership Parking Solutions During the Regular City Council meeting of June 22, 2020, Council members approved the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee's recommendation approving continuation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with discussion to be brought back to Council, during the Regular City Council meeting of June 22, 2020. Ms. Diane Laird, Executive Director of the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), Mr. Chris Raubacher, DDP Parking Committee, and Mr. Jed Hatfield, President of Colonial Parking, Inc., reviewed the background information for the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) Parking Solutions. Ms. Laird advised that proceeding with the signature of the MOU to design the parking solution included implementation of that solution. She advised that if the implementation does not take place, the DDP would be required to pay about $35,000 in planning fees for the solution. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Ms. Laird stated that the ask was to proceed with the MOU to design and implement the solution that is derived. Mr. Neil stated that they took the first step of the jigsaw during the Regular Council meeting of October 12, 2020, when Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 2020-12 - Amending Chapter 106 - Traffic and Vehicles, Article III - Stopping, Standing, and Parking, Division 2 - Metered Parking, Division 3 - Removal and Disposition of Illegally Parked or Abandoned Vehicles, Sec. 106-181 - Definitions, and Division 4 - Downtown Parking. Mr. Neil noted that ordinance was necessary to permit the DDP to enter into this agreement with Colonial. (City Clerk's Office Note: Proposed Ordinance #2020-12 is scheduled for the Final Reading during the Regular City Council meeting on October 23, 2020.)

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 14 Mr. Slavin reminded members that they only make a recommendation to Council. He stated that by the time the ordinance had passed, this would then follow. Mr. Hatfield stated that the development phase was actually performed before the MOU was signed and executed and there was no financial commitment. He noted that it was not until the development work of the program, which is what is driving that fee. Mr. Neil moved to recommend moving forward with the authorization pending the approval of proposed ordinance #2020-12 at the Regular City Council meeting on October 26, 2020. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Rocha and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Grants - Fiscal Year 2020 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program - Joint Grant with Smyrna Police Department & Kent County Chief Johnson, Dover Police Department, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Fiscal Year 2020 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program - Joint Grant with Smyrna Police Department & Kent County. Staff recommended approval of the grant project as requested. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the grant project, as recommended by the Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Grants - Fiscal Year 2021 Fund to Combat Violent Crime Chief Johnson, Dover Police Department, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Fiscal Year 2021 Fund to Combat Violent Crime Grant. Staff recommended approval of the grant and intended purchases. Responding to Mr. Lindell, regarding vendors, Chief Johnson stated that most of this was recurring. Mr. Lindell stated that he knew the grants were different as far as they were getting them at random parts of the year. Chief Johnson stated that there was a challenge there when grants become available, the deadlines were instituted by the issuers of the particular grants. He advised that for the last 10 to 20 working days, he had been having active discussions with his staff to address assuring that their timing was appropriate. Chief Johnson stated that this was a regular recurring item that has great utility for them.

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 15 Mr. Sudler asked how they knew that other competitors were given the opportunity to compete for the bidding process. He stated that they needed to make sure that, across the board, uniform guidelines were being adhered to so that they could ensure they were representing the City in the best manner. Mr. Sudler noted that he thought they needed to focus on some of the bids that were being awarded to make sure that things were being done properly and in accordance with how they were supposed to be across the board. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson advised that the education part was leaning into the preventative piece. Responding to Mr. Lindell's questions, Chief Johnson provided the following information: • The recurring grants were fairly predictable. There was a range of things that they could obtain in each of the state and federal level grants that were managed by the state. They would vary their requests based on the needs of the particular budget year. • Regarding the recurring grants to help fund body cameras, they were having those discussions. There was a state level meeting and they discussed the Criminal Justice Council (CJC) and what they might be able to do for them. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the grant and intended purchases, as recommended by Staff, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Rocha and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Pay for Performance Evaluation System Mrs. Kim Hawkins, Human Resources Director, and Ms. Paula Singer, Ms. Andrea Averill, and Ms. Katie Kiesel, Segal, reviewed the information located in the packet regarding Pay for Performance Evaluation System. Staff recommended approval of the implementation of a Pay for Performance Evaluation system for non-bargaining employees with the following schedule: Pilot period to begin July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022; Full implementation July 1, 2022; First pay for performance increase to be provided July 1, 2023. Mr. Sudler stated that the City of Dover was moving towards a transformational leadership style and culture and asked how they felt it fit in and if they thought it was a great representation and component with their shared visions. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Averill stated that it does support transformational change. She advised that the process would begin to identify the goals that were needed to move that transformation forward and that would be included in the process.

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 16 Mr. Anderson stated he had some unease with recommendation #12 - Reevaluate the process for the Council to conduct performance evaluations. He stated that it should be looked at some where in the future. Mr. Anderson noted that if an employee works for everybody equally on the Council, to have one or a couple control whether or not they got a pay raise without input of everyone else was problematic. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Averill stated the department heads reviewing every rating occur at the final rating. She advised that there would only be a rating applied at the year-end evaluation and the other quarterly reviews would just be a conversation about progress, work goals, feedback and other performance observation shared. Ms. Averill stated that there would be no rating until the end of the cycle. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Singer stated for the quarterlies, it is the employee and the supervisor and the others occur only annually. Ms. Singer noted that the department heads would only look at the final ratings, they were not looking at every detail. Mr. Sudler asked if there would be an opportunity for the employee to rate the supervisor, in regard to whether or not they were being supportive, giving accurate direction, or just one rating. Responding, Ms. Singer stated that it was only the supervisor rating the employee, but that was something they were recommending as an add-on after the process settled down. She noted that there were a number of forms and processes that could be used for employee rating supervisors, so they would have a multi-rater input which could be important, but they thought they would start with the recommendations, taking one step at a time. Mr. Sudler stated this was a great first step, but that it was equally important to have a pulse on the climate of the organization through the employees to have an opportunity to rate the supervisor's behavior and effectiveness. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Ms. Averill stated that an appeal process would be part of the process. She stated there would be a limited window of time where employees could request an appeal to the human resources function and the City Manager could participate in that review. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Hawkins stated they do not currently have an appeal process in place. She advised that a process would have to be drafted and they had some of that discussion in internal meetings with Segal. Mr. Taylor stated that component would have to be a necessity for him to go forward with the process. Mr. Neil stated that they were talking about so many factors, for instance, a constant increase in individuals for performance on a straight level or bonuses as a result of the work that they were doing. He stated that has to be part of this conversation. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Averill stated that if a manager gave an employee an evaluation and they received a raise and they did not like it, they could appeal the rating. Ms. Singer stated that if they added the component, then the employee could

Page 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 26, 2020 PAGE 17 then rate the manager. She advised that it would probably be at a different cycle. Addressing Mr. Hare’s concerns regarding employees rating their managers, Ms. Averill stated that what many organizations do is gather feedback in terms of the employees to the manager. She stated that they would get the observations about performance and then aggregate those themes and provide that to the manager. Ms. Averill advised that it would be the manager's decision to report it to a department head and the department head would vet assigning that rating, which would then equate to a salary increase, or some type of reward. Mr. Hare asked if the manager would be rated by the department head. Responding, Ms. Singer stated that was a second level sign off. She advised that the manager would sign off and then the department head would sign off. Mrs. Hawkins stated that, in conversations with Segal, the idea of 360 feedback was discussed regarding evaluation by department heads’ direct reports or whoever their primary customers were. She stated that they could develop a 360 feedback program that was based on the competencies that were developed and that tie into the performance development program. Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to see the definition of terms and how they were actually graded. He noted that there was also backup material that they had not seen. Ms. Singer stated that they were in the process of finalizing that information and that they would provide it. Ms. Singer noted that this was a pilot program. Mr. Hare stated that he felt they needed to wait until they hire the new City Manager before taking action on this item. Mr. Sudler stated he would be interested in seeing the instruments or criteria for the instruments, the composite scores, how they were going to score them, and what it actually measures. Mr. Hare moved to table this item in Committee until a new City Manager is hired, or when it is brought back up again by the Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson. Mr. Slavin stated, for clarification, that they did not mean that they were telling Staff and the consultants to stop reflecting on the item. He stated that he would assume they were going to continue to refine it, to make it an actionable item for when it is considered for Council again. Mr. Hare and Mr. Anderson agreed with the clarification. Mr. Harline stated that they had enough direction to put some finer points on it with the consultants. He noted that the consultants were winding down their work and if they wanted to bring them back, he would talk with Ms. Singer as to how flexible they were with their time within the scope of the contract.

Staff recommended approval of the proposed Budget Amendments totaling $8,420,300 for Fiscal Year 2021 and adoption of Ordinance #2020-14. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of Staff's recommendation.

Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of the proposed Budget Amendments totaling $8,420,300 for Fiscal Year 2021 and adoption of Ordinance #2020-14.

See the included Excerpt of the Meeting Minutes of the October 19, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. Attachments: • Development Advisory Committee Comments: Electric Department, Department of Water & Wastewater, Public Works Department, Office of the Fire Marshal, DelDOT • Copy of PowerPoint Presentation by Planning Staff on MI-20-06 as presented to Planning Commission on October 19, 2020 • Excerpt of Draft Minutes from October 19, 2020 Planning Commission Meeting • Proposed Ordinance #2020-13 for Wireless Communications Facilities (FINAL Reading Version) • Preliminary Draft #3 City of Dover Small Wireless Communications Facility (SWCF) Design Manual (11-2-2020) The following Report was prepared regarding MI-20-06 Text Amendment: Wireless Communications Facilities. This includes the City Planner’s Report and comments received on the proposed Text Amendment. This information was provided to the Planning Commission for their October 19, 2020 meeting. MI-20-06 Text Amendment: Wireless Communications Facilities Identification of Need for Regulations The current Zoning Ordinance is limited in its discussion of telecommunication and antennae facilities. Over the last twenty years as this technology has expanded, the Planning Office has utilized “Code Interpretation Memo #4: Telecommunications Antennae – Permits and Review Procedures” dated January 26, 1999. This outlined the use of the existing Building Permit application processes, the Administrative Site Plan process, and the Conditional Use review process for placements in residential zones. The Board of Adjustment was often involved in the review of variances to exceed the maximum height limits established in Code. Additionally, Federal and State actions have established regulatory measures that must be adhered to for these types of facilities. Since mid-2018, the City has been researching and developing a strategy to establish a regulatory framework for Wireless Communications Facilities (WCF). The purpose is to establish uniform standards for the siting, design, permitting, installation, maintenance, and use of Wireless Communication Facilities in the City of Dover. The Proposed Ordinance and associated documents will establish regulations, application & review processes, and fees.

Page 33

MI-20-06 Text Amendments: Wireless Communications Facilities Planning Commission Recommendation Report from October 16, 2020 Page 3 of 6 Wireless Communications Facilities include Small Wireless Communications Facilities (Small WCF) such as those attached to utility poles; Non-Tower Based Wireless Communications Facilities like those antennae attached to buildings or water towers; and Tower Based Wireless Communications Facilities such as monopoles and lattice or guyed towers. Locations of the facilities include those within public rights-of-way and on properties. The so-called fourth and fifth generation technologies (4G and 5G) require more numerous transmitters and antennae to transmit the volume or calls and text, but especially data. The preferred option by private sector companies is to attach these Small WCF to existing streetlights and other infrastructure within rights-of-way. A large amount of that existing infrastructure in the rights-of-way belongs to the City of Dover. Attachment to City of Dover equipment will require the City to enter into agreements (Master License Agreements) with various companies to spell out the terms and conditions prior to having any equipment attached to a City pole. Currently, the City is in negotiation with AT&T (New Cingular Wireless, PCS LLC) and Verizon for Master License Agreements (MLAs). In development provisions for the placement of new poles for Small Wireless Communication Facilities (Small WCF), we must take into account that Federal Law prohibits “effective prohibition” of deploying the necessary Small WCF. Effective prohibition can be described as: A regulation that materially limits or inhibits the ability of any competitor or potential competitor to compete in a fair and balanced legal and regulatory environment. Effective prohibition occurs when a state or local legal requirement materially inhibits a provider’s ability to engage in any of a variety of activities related to its provision of service. It means that the service provider can assert the right to some facility somewhere nearby, not only when filling a coverage gap but also when densifying a wireless network, introducing new services or otherwise improving service capabilities. This does NOT prohibit us from making reasonable requirements to locate across a street, cover make-ready costs, or meet higher aesthetic standards in historic and other pre-designated sensitive areas. It is important to understand as we move forward that the technology provides the ability to improve wireless data transmission which can be advantageous to the City, residents and local businesses. However, current technology also defines the wireless system implementation needs. For example, the placement of Small WCF may be need every 400 to 700 feet for complete network availability. The City needs to move forward with regulations that meet Federal guidelines but incorporate community standards to the extent possible. Development of the Text Amendments The development of provisions related to Wireless Communications Facilities (WCF) for the City of Dover has been a team effort of many City Departments including City Manager’s Office, Electric Department, Department of Public Works, and the Planning Office (Department of Planning & Inspections). Initially, the City Manager’s Office retained the services of the Cohen Law Group and Mike Roberts, an attorney with the firm drafted a model documents including an initial draft WCF ordinance, a draft Design Manual and a draft Master License Agreement. Since then the Planning Office (Principal Planner Dawn Melson-Williams and City Planner Mr. Hugg) have worked to modify the Proposed Ordinance and a Design Manual documents in cooperation with the Electric Department to shape it to the City needs and processes. The City Manager’s Office and Electric Department have worked with the Master License Agreements.

Page 34

MI-20-06 Text Amendments: Wireless Communications Facilities Planning Commission Recommendation Report from October 16, 2020 Page 4 of 6 The approach taken related with Small WCFs in some jurisdictions also involves a Design Manual; the City of Dover is also working to develop such a manual. The City has been contacted by future applicants with some concepts for potential location requests for Wireless Communications Facilities with attachments to existing infrastructure and/or the placement of new poles. This is helping us to understand and formulate the considerations for review and the needed application and interdepartmental coordination of procedures. The team has presented updates to the Council Committee of the Whole – Utility Committee on February 11, 2020, July 14, 2020 and September 15, 2020 on the development of provisions and ordinances for Wireless Communications Facilities. In July 2020, the Preliminary Draft of an Ordinance to regulate all Wireless Communications Facilities and an accompanying Small WCF Design Manual that is specifically targeted to Small Wireless Communications Facilities (Small WCF) was presented. Since July the following additional work has occurred: checking Zoning Ordinance for needed amendments and any use of term conflicts and checking Dover Code of Ordinances as related to use of Right-of-way (Chapter 98: Streets) and license agreement provisions of Chapter 110. Also now proposed are the associated fees for Permits and Plan Applications. The refinement of the Draft Ordinance and Design Manual documents were based on input from City Departments, comments from some industry representatives, review by specialized legal services, and Staff research. Following the September 2020 presentation to the CCOW – Utility Committee, direction was given to begin the formal review process for adoption of a Wireless Communication Facilities (WCF) regulations for the City of Dover. Current Proposed Text Amendments Key components of the proposed Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance include the following: • Article 5 Section 23 - A new Section 23 titled “Wireless Communications Facilities” is added providing purpose and intent, definitions, applicability, type of activity determination, application procedures, regulations for Small Wireless Communications Facilities, Non-Tower Wireless Communications Facilities, and Tower-Based Wireless Communications Facilities, general requirements, and maintenance and care. • Article 12 Definitions - Changes to the definitions are provided to add definitions of the terms “antenna” and “wireless communications facility.” • Article 3 Section 20B.1 and 20.B2 – In the IPM3 zoning district, it deletes the permitted uses listed in Section 20B.17 and creates new subsection in 20B.22 for them as conditional uses. This is for the uses of broadcasting tower, tower-based WCFs, antennas and satellites dishes which support aviation, aeronautics, or related operations. Also clarifies text listing other conditional uses by creating new subsubsection 20B.21. • Article 5 Section 21 – This section is amended to clarify that wireless communications facilities are not considered to be public utility infrastructure under this subsection and provides reference to appropriate provisions. Key components of the proposed Text Amendments to other portions of the Dover Code of Ordinances include the following:

Page 35

MI-20-06 Text Amendments: Wireless Communications Facilities Planning Commission Recommendation Report from October 16, 2020 Page 5 of 6 • Chapter 98 – Street, sidewalks, Storm Sewers and Other Public Places, Sec. 98-11– This section is added to establish provisions for the placement of wireless communications facilities within rights-of-way including of “Uses of Rights-of-way Permit” with permit fee and annual fee. • Appendix F – Fees and Fines - This section is amended to establish the various permit fees, application fees, and annual use and attachment fees associated with Wireless Communication Facilities. Small WCF Design Manual Associated with Small Wireless Communication Facilities, a Design Manual is being prepared. The current mark-up form of the Design Manual as of 9/9/2020 is provided for reference: Preliminary Draft #2 (Mark-up) of City of Dover Small Wireless Communications Facility (SWCF) Design Manual. The key topics areas of the Design Manual are as follows: • Definitions • General Standards • Antenna and Accessory Equipment Standards • Pole Standards • Review and Approval • Approval Timing The refinement of the Small WCF Design Manual and its coordination with the Proposed Ordinance is ongoing as is the needed development of the Permit application forms and interdepartmental coordination of procedures. History of Committee and City Council Activity The City Council Committee of the Whole: Utility Committee was presented an Update on Provisions and Development of Ordinance: Wireless Communication Facilities on February 11, 2020 and then an Update and Presentation of Preliminary Draft Wireless Communications Facilities (WCF) Ordinance Version 1A – Planning 7-8-2020 on July 14, 2020. The City Council Committee of the Whole: Utility Committee heard an Updated and Presentation of Draft Wireless Communications Facilities (WCF) Ordinance Version 2 – Planning 9-9-2020 on September 15, 2020; the CCOW/Utility Committee acted to direct Staff to complete refinements and referred the Ordinance to City Council for First Reading and setting of Public Hearing dates. The Ordinance received a First Reading at the September 28, 2020 City Council meeting. Because text amendments are proposed to the Zoning Ordinance, a Public Hearing and Recommendation by the Planning Commission are required. The Planning Commission hearing is scheduled for October 19, 2020. City Council will conduct a Public Hearing and take Final Action on proposed Ordinance #2019-13 at their meeting of November 9, 2020. At that meeting City Council may act to adopt the whole Ordinance, to adopt part of the Ordinance, and/or to make other amendments to the proposed text. Planning Review and Recommendations: Planning Staff developed the proposed Ordinance #2020-13: Text Amendments for the Wireless Communications Facilities; and therefore, recommend their adoption subject to any identified corrections.

Staff continues to review the Proposed Ordinance #2020-13 and Draft Small WCF Design Manual document (Preliminary Draft #2). There may be additional clarifications, proofreading corrections, and text revisions needed. These will be presented prior to final adoption. Note: For completed revisions see Preliminary Draft #3 City of Dover Small Wireless Communications Facility (Small WCF) Design Manual 11-2-2020. 2. The Planning Office provided an opportunity to Development Advisory Committee (DAC) members to comment on the proposed Text Amendments at their meeting on September 30, 2020. No negative comments were received only several advisory comments for clarifications. These comments will be evaluated, and appropriate document text revised as necessary. 3. The Proposed Ordinance #2020-13 is also subject to Legal Review by the City Solicitor and Special Legal Counsel which may identify additional clarifications or corrections. 4. Planning Staff in coordination with other City Departments will be developing the Application Review Processing Procedures. This includes development of an Application Checklist, associated WCF Permit Forms, and tracking procedures. The procedures will outline the process of intake and review among Departments. Planning Commission Review and Action Following the Staff Presentation and a Public Hearing on October 19, 2020 where three (3) members of the public spoke, the Planning Commission voted (8-0 of the members present) to recommend approval of the proposed Text Amendment relating to Wireless Communications Facilities. Questions from the Planning Commission during consideration of the Text Amendment included the topics of stealth technologies, language, and constancy of wording for Small WCF in the Design Manual document. The public testimony noted the City’s forward thinking on this technology and its potential future demand and an appreciation of Staff’s diligent and collaborative work on the topic.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION October 19, 2020 Excerpt from Meeting Minutes – Draft The City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, October 19, 2020 at 6:00 PM as a Virtual Meeting using the phone/videoconferencing system WebEx due to Delaware’s Declaration of the State of Emergency for COVID-19. The Meeting Session was conducted with Chair Mrs. Maucher presiding. Members present were Mr. Adams, Mr. Roach, Mr. Hartman, Dr. Jones, Mrs. Welsh, Ms. Malone, and Mrs. Lord. Mr. Baldwin was absent. Staff members present were Mr. Dave Hugg, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Jason Lyon, Mr. Julian Swierczek, Mrs. Samantha Bulkilvish, and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney; and also Assistant City Manager Matt Harline. MI-20-06 Text Amendment: Wireless Communications Facilities - Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council of Text Amendments outlining provisions for Wireless Communications Facilities (WCF) by adding a new Article 5 Section 23. Wireless Communications Facilities to the Zoning Ordinance and completing other amendments to the Zoning Ordinance in Article 3 – District Regulations, Section 20B - Industrial Park and Manufacturing Zone – Industrial aviation and aeronautics center (IPM3); Article 5 Section 21 – Public utility infrastructure; and Article 12 – Definitions and to the Dover Code of Ordinances, Chapter 98 – Street Sidewalks, Storm Sewers and Other Public Places and Appendix F – Fees and Fines. This proposed Ordinance provides definitions; establishes certain general and specific standards relating to the location, placement, construction and maintenance of Small WCF, Non-Tower Based WCF, and Tower-Based WCF; and provides for the regulations of WCF within the public rights-of-ways and outside public rights-of-way on properties. Also associated with these provisions is a Draft Small Wireless Communication Facility (SWCF) Design Manual. Ordinance #2020-13. A copy of the Proposed Ordinance #2020-13 is available on the City’s website www.cityofdover.com under the Government Heading: Ordinances, Resolutions & Tributes https://www.cityofdover.com/ordinances-and-resolutions The Draft SWCF Design Manual is available from the Planning Office. The Proposed Ordinance was presented to the Council Committee of the Whole - Utility Committee on September 15, 2020. First Reading was completed by the City Council on September 28, 2020 and the Public Hearing dates set for Planning Commission on October 19, 2020 and City Council on November 9, 2020. Representatives: None Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is a Text Amendment regarding wireless communications facilities. The purpose of this Text Amendment is to establish uniform standards for the siting design, permitting, installation, maintenance and use of Wireless Communication Facilities in the City of Dover. It really consists of two parts. First, is a proposed ordinance and that is Ordinance #2020-13 and then associated with that is a Draft of a Small Wireless Communications Facility Design Manual. Over the past year, various City staff and Departments have been involved in this project to develop these provisions, really lead by the City Manager’s Office. And we do have the Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of October 19, 2020 Page 1 of 7

Page 55

Assistant City Manager, Matt Harline joining us at this meeting. The City’s Electric Department, the City’s Planning Office, and the Department of Public Works have also been involved. In addition, the City has made use of a specialized legal resource, the Cohen Law Group. A lawyer with them, Mr. Mike Roberts has been assisting Staff in the development of this Ordinance and some of the other provisions associated with wireless communications facilities. There have been a number of presentations to the City’s Utility Committee over the last year as they worked to develop this Ordinance and Design Manual. In addition, when we are talking about attaching things to City stuff, it requires a Master Licensing Agreement process and the City’s Electric Department has been very much involved on that side of the world. Our proposed Ordinance really sets up three types of wireless communications facilities and those types being Small Wireless Communications Facilities, Non-Tower Facilities and then Tower Based Facilities. Small Wireless Communications Facilities have a very specific definition that’s outlined at the Federal level that comes into play so we are adopting that as part of our Ordinance. They are typically small and less than 50 feet in height overall. There are some other dimensional limitations that are established by their definition. The next type of facility is a Non-Tower Facility and that is a communications facility that is located or co-located on something that is already there. This is where we see placement on buildings or on existing water towers or tanks that the City may have. They are types of utility poles, light poles and structures that are really there for something else but are having this communications facility element attached to them. The next type of facility is what we would call Tower Based Facilities and this is where the main purpose of the tower itself is to support the Wireless Communications Facility. This is where we see those purpose built things like the lattice towers or the monopole that the only thing it’s doing is for the Wireless Communications Facility placement on it. The Tower Based Communications Facilities are placed as the support structure for the communications facility itself. Our Proposed Ordinance had to have a number of components to it. The key part of the Proposed Ordinance will create a new section of Code in the Zoning Ordinance that would be Article 5, Section 23 that focuses very specifically on Wireless Communications Facilities. There is a purpose statement and there is a definitions section for a number of definitions that needed to be put in place to understand this technology and its terminology. There is a section on applicability and that section explains when this type of activity applies. In certain cases, they had to establish some exceptions so that it didn’t capture things like if someone still had a television antenna or some type of satellite dish on their property that they use for obtaining those types of services for their own personal use; basically, a non-commercial function. They also had to identify some things related to non-conforming uses with this. The next section of the Ordinance deals with the type of activity determination. With these types of facilities, at any given time there are a number of things that could be happening and we wanted to divide out the type of activity so that it identifies more clearly the type of process that it will need to move through or if it had special types of requirements for it. They see an Eligible Facilities Request as one type. An Eligible Facility is something that is already there and you are co-locating something new on it or you are changing out equipment that is already there because you’ve got a technology upgrade. Substantial Change Activity is actually defined in the Federal regulations as to what constitutes a substantial change but common sense is going to tell you that if it really changes the physical dimensions of what is there then it’s a Substantial Change. The next type is a New Facility meaning that whatever you are proposing wasn’t there previously and it’s going to be something new then it will have a certain type of review process because of that. Additionally, they had to pull out Small Wireless Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of October 19, 2020 Page 2 of 7

Page 56

Communications Facilities. These types of facilities have very specialized Federal regulations associated with them related to their sizing, the placement of them and the timing for review so they were pulled out as a specialized type of activity. With the Ordinance, they had to establish application procedures. They are actually talking about placement of facilities both in the public right-of-way (or the property of the road) and also locations that may be on individual properties. That is spelled out for each type of activity. Basically, what you are dealing with is that there will be a type of Building Permit Application called a Wireless Communications Facility Permit that will have to be applied for. Depending on where you are locating, if you are locating within the right-of-way there are additional permits related to using the right-of-way. Where the Planning Commission ultimately plays a role is that for new Tower Based Wireless Communications Facilities, this process will require a review of a Conditional Use Application. The regulations and standards are given by each facility type. That actually outlines the details about location, the development parameters be it sizing, height, what else is happening on the property, things like setbacks, the details of if there are additional equipment or accessory buildings needed to support the facility, as well as any kind of fencing or access and lighting needs. Additionally, there are Design Standards that are established that focus on visual appearance based on the type of facility and in the case of the Small Wireless Communications Facility this is where we reference the Design Manual. The Design Manual goes into much greater detail of how Small Wireless Communications Facilities are supposed to be designed and placed. The Ordinance kind of wraps up with a series of general requirements and these focus on the maintenance and the care to ensure that once one is in place that it continues to function and is cared for appropriately. When doing the Ordinance, they had to take a look at other portions of the Zoning Ordinance to make sure that they weren’t creating any other conflicts and they discovered some cleanup measures that they needed to do. The first one is in the IPM-3 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone) that focuses on industrial aviation and aeronautics. This is a new zone for us within the last couple of years. They currently do not have any properties with that zoning classification but we likely will in the future. What the Amendment to that section of the Code does is clearly makes these types of Wireless Communications Facilities a Conditional Use. In the case of the IPM-3 Zone, they are allowed but they are allowed in support of aviation, aeronautics and related operations. They also did some other cleanup in that section of the Code to identify things that were a Conditional Use in that section and then did some language clarification. Previously, the section on IPM-3 made reference to things like broadcasting towers and telecommunications towers so we are really updating terminology. The other section of the Zoning Ordinance that we needed to make improvements to is Article 5, Section 21. This is a clarification of Wireless Communications Facilities versus that section that specifically deals with Public Utility Infrastructure. They needed to make the distinction that those items meeting the definition of Wireless Communications Facilities are being dealt with in a different section of Code and this section under Article 5, Section 21 does not apply to them. Additionally, there were parts of the main part of the Dover Code of Ordinances that they had to establish some changes to with this proposed Ordinance. The first being in Chapter 98, which is the section of Dover Code that deals with streets, sidewalks, storm sewers and other public places. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of October 19, 2020 Page 3 of 7

Page 57

By this Ordinance, proposing a new section, Section 98-11 that discusses the procedures for placement of a Wireless Communications Facility within the right-of-way. It establishes provisions for use of the rights-of-way and that focused on a permit process and also to establish an annual fee for use of what is the City rights-of-way. With this process, establishment of procedure also comes the need to establish fees for the types of activities. The fee structure or the City of Dover is found in Appendix F of the Code of Ordinances and other sections kind of point to this section for reference. There are several proposed fees the Ordinance looks to establish. Those are a Right-of-Way Permit fee. If you are going to be in a City right-of-way there is going to be a fee for us to review that and it also establishes Annual Fees for using the right-of-way. In certain cases, there would be no charge for use of the rights-of-way. In other cases, if you are placing a new structure or pole in the City right-of-way then there would be an annual fee that would be implemented upon your placement of the facility. There are a number of existing fees in the Code that are also noted here. Currently, there is a pole attachment fee; however, we are clarifying that the pole attachment fee for a wireless communications facility is something different and carries with it a different fee. There is also the application fee for our Conditional Use Permits that already exist in Code. It is important to note that a number of these applications fees, especially tied to the Small Wireless Communications Facilities are actually capped by Federal regulations so there is some limit as to what the City may charge in that regard. The second component of this is the “Small Wireless Communications Facility Design Manual” and it has a number of sections. Again, it’s definitions and general standards for both the facility as well as antennas and accessory equipment standards for poles. It also makes some reference to the review and approval process for it and the timing. She will say that the Design Manual is still considered in draft. There are a number of things in the Ordinance that they need to ensure that the Design Manual references appropriately so if there are any changes in what is adopted by Ordinance, there may need to be some revisions to the Design Manual. The Design Manual is referenced in the Ordinance and would be a policy document for the review and for the design of anything being submitted as a Small Wireless Communications Facility. Mr. Hugg actually worked on the initial drafts of this Design Manual; so, she is not sure if he has any comments about the logistics of the Design Manual that he would like to make. Mr. Hugg stated that the Design Manual will need to be carefully reviewed once the Ordinance is finalized so that they complement each other. He thinks that Mrs. Melson-Williams underestimated the amount of work that she and others have had to do over the last year. This is a complex area where we had very little guidance and very little precedent to go on. He thinks that they have worked their way down from he doesn’t know how many pages but he wants to compliment her and the rest of the City Staff who have been involved in this. The Design Manual is pretty much what it says it is. It gets to color, what is looks like, and whether it has to match other decorative poles and how far the arms can extend, and what the antennas look like to ensure that we get the best visual and performance standards that we can for the City of Dover. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they are actively in the formal review process of the Ordinance. Its First Reading was held the last week of September 2020. Tonight is the Public Hearing and recommendation by the Planning Commission. The Commission’s recommendation on the Ordinance will be forwarded on to City Council. City Council will need to conduct its own Public Hearing and do Final Reading of the Ordinance and take action to adopt the Ordinance. That is Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of October 19, 2020 Page 4 of 7

Page 58

currently scheduled for November 9, 2020. As noted, the Design Manual is a work in progress. They are feeling pretty good at this point; however, they have to make sure that it plays nicely with the Ordinance once adopted. So there is still some work there to do to get to its final publication. With any Ordinance there is always legal review by the City Solicitor and in this case, we have Special Legal Counsel that’s been assisting us with this project. As a side portion to this, there is the development of agreements for use of City owned poles and access to the City right-of-way. This is done through a process called Master Licensing Agreements. The City has been working with two entities at this point on their individual Master Licensing Agreements. There is a Draft Master Licensing Agreement as a starting point and the City’s Electric and City Manager’s Office have been leading the charge with working with those entities to develop those. Of course with this and the new portions of Code, they have to formally put in place the Application Review Processing Procedures so that involves completion of permit forms. They need to create form that looks a little different than our normal Building Permit form so that we capture the information on the type of Wireless Communications Facility and their type of activity. We are also looking to do some type of application checklist so that they know what they need to submit in order to move through our review process in a timely fashion. Then also we need to set up that process of intake and review because this will involve more than just the Planning Office. The Electric Department and the Public Works Office will likely be involved in the review of a Wireless Communications Facility permit so we need to have the processes in place to do that. In case you don’t really know what these things look like, there are some examples that are being shown on the screen. A number of applications for Small Wireless Communications Facilities implementations include making them part of an existing light pole. The other ones do indicate the Tower Based option which is a large pole and an array of things at the top of it. The other two images are kind of the less conspicuous implementation of Wireless Communications Facilities often at the small level where there may just appear to be an extra box on a pole; be it a light pole or some type of utility pole. These provisions also have to deal with the fact that if you are placing your wireless communications facility on an electric service pole, there are some obvious separation distances and things that need to happen so that you and the transmission of electric to our other customers don’t have a problem. Mr. Hartman stated that the term “stealth technology” appears in the Design Manual and the Ordinance, is that a commonly used term in this industry? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she would say yes and it’s meant to be something that could be met in a number of different ways. When you think of stealth, it means you are hiding it in some way. So with our provisions, “stealth technologies” is actually defined. It is ways that you can go about camouflaging or screening the facility so that it blends in or is more visually appealing to the area where it is. Some of the examples that are there on the screen have been the choice of color and shape and form that allow it to blend into an existing light pole feature. It may be that the base is a little bit bigger than one that doesn’t have a wireless facility or it may have a slightly taller element to it so it’s really about a case by case basis looking at ways to have it visually blend into its context and its surrounding environment, whether that’s on a building or a light pole. The Design Manual does mention it also when it comes to the Small Wireless Communications Facilities. Mr. Hartman stated that he didn’t find it in the Design Manual. In the Design Manual, Section 2 Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of October 19, 2020 Page 5 of 7

Page 59

Item 7, it talks about what you are describing but it does not say “stealth technologies”. “Stealth technologies” is defined in the Design Manual but then in the actual standards, he doesn’t believe that it’s mentioned again. If it’s an acceptable term in the industry, he has no problem with it. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they do have some industry people that are on the call this evening that she expects to hear from during the public hearing portion of the meeting. Mr. Hartman stated that he understands that the Design Manual is a work in progress but one of the things that they are talking about in Section 2 Item 3, “all small wireless communications facilities shall be installed and maintained in a workmanlike manner in compliance with the National Electric Safety Code and the National Electric Code as applicable.” Is “workmanlike manner” actually needed in that sentence? It seems to do nothing but raise questions. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Hugg stated that it probably doesn’t add anything to that discussion. A lot of the language in the Design Manual is kind of industry standard. This is kind of a format driven product. He agrees with Mr. Hartman; he does not know what it adds so they can certainly remove it. Also, “stealth technologies” is a term that is used constantly in the industry as well. Mr. Hartman stated that in the Design Manual “small wireless facilities” is defined differently than how it’s defined in the Ordinance. Also in the Design Manual, you reference it three different ways. You reference it as a Small WCF which is actually referenced in the regulation and that’s the way that it should be termed. But you also term it SWCF and SCWF which is probably a typo but to be consistent, you should continue with what is in the Ordinance, Small WCF rather than switching back and forth. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Hugg stated that Mr. Hartman is correct and these are the kinds of things that they still need to work on in the Design Manual. Now that they have an agreement on what the Ordinance should look like and the wording of the Ordinance, those are good comments. Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing. Mr. Nate Attard – 452 E Loockerman Street Dover, DE 19901 Mr. Attard stated that he just wanted to commend the City on working on this issue. He knows that it is one that the Commission may think is less than important but a change is coming with transportation and this is actually extremely important. As you guys hear about things like autonomous vehicles, you have to be aware that they actually connect to this type of technology. So it’s good that the City is sort of getting ahead of the game and making sure that the Code can sort of meet the demand that the City is going to face and try to permit these facilities in the future. Ms. Bonnie Metz – Verizon of Delaware Ms. Metz stated that she wants to thank the Staff. This is a process that she has been involved in with the Staff at the City for almost two years now since this started. They have really done a great and thorough job on the City’s behalf in coming to an Ordinance that is reasonable yet protects the City in aesthetic ways with the Design Manual. On behalf of Verizon, they look forward to working with the City and we move forward with their small cell technology in Dover and other places throughout the State. Mr. Joseph Divis - AT&T Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of October 19, 2020 Page 6 of 7

Page 60

Mr. Divis stated that he wanted to reiterate what Ms. Metz stated on the behalf of AT&T. City Staff has worked diligently on this and should be commended and they will continue to collaborate through the process. Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing. Mrs. Welsh moved to recommend approval to City Council for MI-20-06 Text Amendment: Wireless Communications Facilities, seconded by Mr. Hartman and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Baldwin absent. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; this is a lot of indepth work by the Planning Office and it is something that is greatly needed in the future for the City. Dr. Jones voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Adams voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Roach voting yes; he wants to say thank you to Planning Staff for their detailed reports. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on the package presented and the presentations tonight and he also wishes to thank the City for their hard work on this. Mrs. Lord voting yes; for reasons previously stated and she thinks the City of Dover will greatly benefit from forward thinking on wireless use for the City. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for reasons previously stated and also adds her thanks to the Planning Staff for their hard work on this and also for welcoming in the industry representatives in to make sure that this a comprehensive ordinance that is workable for everyone.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole was held by video conference on October 27, 2020 at 6:03 p.m., with Council President Hare presiding. Council members present via video or telephone were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Cole, Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell (arrived at 6:04 p.m.). Mr. Cole and Mr. Sudler were absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present via video or telephone for their Committee meetings were Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Mr. Wagner and Mr. Shelton (Safety Advisory and Transportation) were absent. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Council President Hare presiding in the absence of Chairman Lindell. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Budget Amendment - Community Policing Unit Mr. Matthew Harline, Assistant City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the budget amendment for the Community Policing Unit. Staff recommended approval of the proposed Budget Amendments totaling $177,900 for Fiscal Year 2021. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Project Management Services - Enterprise Resources Planning Systems (ERP) Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the project management services for Enterprise Resources Planning Systems (ERP). Staff recommended authorization for the Controller/Treasurer to enter into a contract with BerryDunn for the purpose of Project Management with the Enterprise Resource Planning system implementation for the remaining phases of this project and to amend the Electric Improvement and Extension Fund budget for the requested amount as projected each fiscal year. Mr. Neil asked if the new request had moved from the consulting and teaching phase to the operational management phase, noting that they would be temporary contractual employees for a period from 2020 to December 2023. Responding, Ms. Peddicord stated that they were considering converting the contract with BerryDunn from project oversight to project management and that was to ensure that the software vendor performed as promised. She advised that, as the project management team, it would be their responsibility to train City Staff. Ms. Peddicord stated that as the project manager, they would closely monitor, with the City, to manage the implementation activities for each of the upcoming phases. Ms. Peddicord noted that they would serve to identify any risks and/or issues that they encountered in implementing the new software.

Page 96

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2020 PAGE 2 Ms. Peddicord advised that she discovered over the past three years, and more recently, that the project management was very time consuming and they needed a full-time, or at least part-time, dedicated person to ensure nothing was missed. Mr. Neil asked how much the new efficiency was expected to save in taxpayer dollars during the next 5 - 10 years. Responding, Ms. Peddicord stated that she could not equate it to an expected tax savings, but could reference that when they signed the original contract there was recognition of savings in the action form provided. She advised that it appeared in the annual maintenance cost comparison from the Legacy system to the new system, that the old system entailed about $349,000 and the new system was going to reduce that to $244,000. Ms. Peddicord stated that they were going to see a lot more efficiencies, improvements, and communications with citizens. She noted that the program would enable online payments through the portal and would provide the ability for Staff, vendors, and citizens to access their accounts online. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Harline stated that the Tyler Munis system would do more than the AS400 base Naviline system. He noted that the new technologies would provide additional options and give the user the experience that they would expect. He noted that the different pieces would fit together and allow for integration. Ms. Peddicord noted that it was hard to equate the dollar amount of the implementation of the six-phase project in the front end. She stated that after the users learn the system and understand how to gain the best knowledge of it, she believed they were going to see a lot more cost saving. Mr. Contant stated that he remembered eight or nine months ago, that it was suggested that there might be a possibility or a need to hire a full-time person to interface between City Staff and Tyler. He noted that looking at the increase, $421,800 was a lot of money but, according to the documents, that should be recouped in roughly four years. He stated that if they used the system for the next 20 years, that would turn out to be a significantly larger sum that they would hopefully be saving. Mr. Contant stated they would have the opportunity to grow the system into smart meters and everything else that they would want to do over time. Responding to Mr. Contant's concern, Ms. Peddicord provided the following information: • The project manager would be aggressive in ensuring that Tyler Technologies fulfilled their obligations. • BerryDunn has been involved throughout the project in a management oversight capacity and could be more aggressive in addressing issues. • If they decided that BerryDunn was not being as aggressive as they wanted, they could address recourse. • Regarding a contract that laid out their expected responsibilities, authority, and mediation process, Ms. Peddicord did not have it on hand, but that in addition to the change request form shifting from oversight to management, there were other areas that were covered under the contract a little differently from one position to the other.

Page 97

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2020 PAGE 3 Mr. Contant stated that he wanted the information in writing and agreed upon before payment is made. He noted that he wanted someone that was going to be aggressive with the software vendor to ensure what was best for the City of Dover. Ms. Peddicord stated if they did not already have that, she would make sure they got verbiage on it and take the appropriate actions. Mr. Neil moved to recommend authorization for the Controller/Treasurer to enter into a contract with BerryDunn for the purpose of Project Management with the Enterprise Resource Planning system implementation for the remaining phases of the project and to amend the Electric Improvement and Extension Fund budget for the requested amount, as projected each fiscal year, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Peddicord stated that the City dealt with Tyler Technologies directly and that BerryDunn was retained to serve as the project oversight consultant because of their previous knowledge and experience with Tyler Technologies. She stated that BerryDunn originally assisted them with the Tyler Technologies contract and user acceptance testing under the current contract. Ms. Peddicord advised that they were not the go-to person then and they were going to change that scope of work and responsibility. Responding to Mr. Rocha regarding a line in the budget for BerryDunn, Ms. Peddicord stated that it was in the project cost for the ERP implementation. She noted that the consultant for the project oversight and the implementation costs were in that line item. Mr. Rocha asked if the $421,000 was in addition to BerryDunn’s cost for project oversight. Responding, Ms. Peddicord stated that the $421,000 is for project management for the next two or three years that they are contracted. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Upon further clarification Ms. Peddicord stated that only the $421,000 costs for Project Management would be added to the remaining project implementation and/or life of the project timeline anticipated to be December 2023. The Project Oversight services contract with BerryDunn ends upon the approval and transition of the services being provided to the City of Dover on behalf of the Tyler implementation.) Mr. Neil moved to recommend authorization for the Controller/Treasurer to enter into a contract with BerryDunn for the purpose of Project Management with the Enterprise Resource Planning system implementation for the remaining phases of the project and to amend the Electric Improvement and Extension Fund budget for the requested amount projected each fiscal year, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and carried with Mr. Taylor voting no. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m. SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2020 PAGE 4 Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Reconsideration - Prioritization of City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects During the Regular City Council meeting of October 12, 2020, Council members referred this item back to the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee. Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Enhancement, reviewed the revised 2020 Prioritization of the City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program. Staff recommended approval of the Revised 2020 Prioritization of the City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding item #5 of the Prioritization of the City of Dover State CTP Projects - Sidewalks within the walk zone of the new Dover High School, Mr. Hugg stated that he had communicated the only information he had received. He noted that Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has a separate program for sidewalk improvements that was not part of their specific Capital Program. Mr. Hugg advised that he did not receive an update that indicated increased activity on that project, other than the recognition that those sidewalks and the sidewalks on Route 13 were critical. Mr. Hugg advised that some of the work had been done as part of the bikeway improvements and that there would be some sidewalk improvements as part of both the Kenton Road and Scarborough intersection. Mr. Hugg stated that he could follow up for additional details. Mayor Christiansen stated that their priority was economic development and, as Chairman of the Dover/Kent County MPO, he had pressed that issue. He stated that it was imperative that they realized that the next area for economic development was the $14.7 million that they invested in Garrison Oak. Mayor Christiansen noted the potential for a Civil Air Terminal to be located next to the Kent County Industrial Park and that the property adjacent to it were prime areas for the manufacturing jobs and warehousing facilities that they needed. He noted that it also had potential as a hub for rapid delivery aircraft, as they had seen an overload at Newark and Philadelphia and other airports. Mayor Christiansen stated that if those areas had easy access to Route 1 and to I-95, they had the potential to have DHL, FedEx, and other major carriers locate there. He noted that there was also potential to bring aircraft repair to the industrial park because they would have a captive audience of people that were well-qualified to repair aircraft. Mayor Christiansen stated that he concurred with moving the State College Road project priority up, particularly between Kenton Road and McKee Road. He noted that anybody that had the opportunity to drive out there knew it was a nightmare. Mr. Lindell moved to recommend approval of the Revised 2020 Prioritization of the City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects (Attachment #1), as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.

ATTACHMENT #1 Council Committee of the Whole Meeting of October 27, 2020 TO: Councilman Ralph Taylor, Chair Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee FROM: David Hugg DATE: October 5, 2020 SUBJ: 2020 REVISED LIST – TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS This list is a recommended revision to 2020 Transportation Projects Priorities originally approved by CCOW/Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee on September 29. The changes are the result of ongoing conversations about the status of the projects with both the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and DelDOT. These would have brought forward at the recent discussion, but technical difficulties prevented discussion at that time. The revisions primarily reflect some additional updating and correction of information. I am recommending a possible re-ranking as a result of better data. Changes are shown in blue. CITY OF DOVER REVISED 2020 TRANSPORTATION PROJECT PRIORITIZATION 1. Garrison Oak Connector Road Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (GOBTC) is a 385-acre tract zoned IPM-2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone-Technology Center) and is the only site in the City to be zoned as such. It has been identified by the City as an ideal location for large technology/green industry firms. An amendment to the zoning ordinance (2019) expanded the list of permitted uses to allow warehousing, logistics and distribution activities as well. Dover City Council desires that DelDOT provide a direct access to State Route 1 via a connector road from White Oak Road to Route 8. While the State discourages growth east of State Route 1, this tract is acknowledged by both the City of Dover and the State of Delaware as the only large- scale developable land east of State Route 1 in the City of Dover. A June 2017 study of the project (the Garrison Oak Traffic Study), determined that constructing a connector road was not justified as of 2018, based on the current uses and development in the park. However, an Alignment Study to determine the feasibility and location of a future road connection is justified given current and potential development interests. The Park is an important economic development asset for the City and the County. Utilization of GOBTC is restricted by the lack of good access to SR1. As additional development occurs in the business park its priority for construction will be shown as appropriate. Additional recent planning associated with a Dover Freight Management Study suggests that not only this project but an extension of it south to connect Route 8 to S. Little Creek Road near Horsepond Road would be desired to facilitate

Page 101

further expansion of the County Air Cargo Facility and proposed employment zone depicted in both the City and County Comprehensive Plans. Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades/ Route 8 East/West Corridor Plan Improvements Prior project listings have evolved to include two related but separate projects within this single listing. Both projects flow from various studies of the Route 8 Corridor. For clarity, these should be separated and listed as two projects with priority set by readiness to proceed. 2 Scarborough Road/Route 8 Corridor Improvements The project includes intersection improvements at Route 8/Route 15, which are already in planning, design and ROW acquisition and involve added turn and through lanes. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2021. The Route 8 Corridor Design Study (2008) also identified several improvements along the Route 8 corridor that would improve safety, better manage access, reduce congestion and provide improved traffic flow. While improvements complementary to this corridor (POW-MIA Parkway and Senator Bikeway, for example) address north/south movements, continued development on the west side of the City impacts the capacity and operation of this roadway. The MPO has been asked to further study the section of Route 8 from Kenton Road west beyond Mifflin Road. 3 Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades The project includes full roadway development with drainage, shoulders, travel lanes, bike lanes, and other actions. Kenton Road work has also begun with planning, design and ROW acquisition. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2022. It is budgeted at $27.3 million. The Kenton Road Corridor project includes road improvements and sidewalks to improve traffic flow and bicycle/pedestrian safety. It is critical to improving the approach to the City from the northwest where new residential areas within and outside the City are being built. 4. College Road Corridor Upgrades (Kenton Road to McKee Road) This project includes road improvements and sidewalks in the heavily traveled College Road corridor. It is a key east-west linkage from northwest residential areas to commercial corridors and Delaware State University. Recent development in this area includes apartments and a rehabilitation hospital near the College Road/McKee Road Intersection. Potential improvements in this project include new pavement sections, sidewalks, shoulders, a closed drainage system, bicycle lanes, lighting and other improvements. Planning and design is scheduled for FY23 with ROW to be acquired in FY25-26. It is budgeted at $4.25 million. 5. Sidewalks within the walk zone of the new Dover High School Critical gaps in the sidewalk system near Dover High School remain, including along Mifflin Road and along Route 8 on the south side from Mifflin Road west. This project also addresses the continuation of the Senator Bikeway and the recommendations from the Capital Gateway Study. The City is very concerned about public safety in this area and believes it deserves to be included

in the CTP and funded at the earliest opportunity. This project is ongoing and funded through a statewide sidewalk safety improvement program. 6. West Street Improvements from North Street to the Transit Center This project is along the western edge of the Downtown Development District and would improve traffic flow, safety and access to the transit system serving the Downtown and the City. It would also provide an opportunity for multi-modal linkages to be improved. West Street has become an important connection for the DART transit service in the City but has not been improved to reflect the standards necessary to meet this use. Part of these improvements were achieved in 2018 with the completion of a multi-use path along the east side of West Street. The construction of the new Dover Post Office along West Street increases the importance of this project. It is budgeted at $1.3 million with ROW acquisition in FY 23 and construction beginning in FY25. 7. US13 Service Roads/Scarborough Road This project would create a collector distributor (CD) service road parallel to US 13 from Leipsic Road to Scarborough Road, and a set of local access roads providing economic benefits to the Dover Mall and a proposed adjacent commercial complex. This project is part of the US Route 13 Circulation Study. In adherence to the State’s Corridor Capacity Preservation Program, the addition of service roads would decrease traffic on US 13/DuPont Highway by having more local traffic use the service roads instead. The project also reflects the corridor’s continued growing role as a destination for commerce, employment, and community activities, and its lessened importance as a high-speed through travel route compared to State Route 1. Preliminary engineering is scheduled for FY22-23, ROW acquisition in FY24-25 with construction thereafter, although economic considerations could delay timing. It may include a southbound toll exit from SR1 to the vicinity of the Mall. Construction includes consideration of private toll supported funding totaling $33.1 million. 8. US 13 Sidewalk Construction Construction of multi-use paths along US 13 continues to be a priority. Construction of sidewalks is required when properties are developed or redeveloped, but significant sections of the sidewalk system are either in deteriorated condition or missing. Examples include Public Safety Boulevard to the Puncheon Run Connector and White Oak Road to College Road. A 2019 sidewalk project built by DelDOT completed a sidewalk/path from Townsend Boulevard to Leipsic Road on the east side of US 13. This project is ongoing and funded through a statewide sidewalk safety improvement program. 9. Route 8/Hazelettville Road Connector This is a north/south access road that was identified in the Route 8 Concept Plan and Operations Study. This connection will encourage economic development and provide transportation alternatives in this heavily traveled corridor. The connector road proposal incorporated the existing Dover High Drive and extended south on the west side of the Village of Cannon Mills, however DelDOT advises that much of the proposed ROW is in Agricultural Land Preservation with strong

landowner opposition so an alternative connecting Commerce Way (Enterprise Park) to Route 8 near the Modern Maturity Center is being examined. It is budgeted at $2.5 million with construction beginning in 2025.. 10. Kings Highway/Route 13 Intersection Improvements The intersection of Kings Highway/White Oak Road and US Route 13 needs improvements to meet an acceptable level of service (now functioning at LOS E). Extensive new commercial development (Capital Station Shopping Center, Lidl grocery store, and other commercial facilities) are being constructed south of the intersection which will add traffic and access burdens on these roads. Because of the multi-use paths to be constructed along with this commercial development, pedestrian and bicyclist safety improvements will be needed as part of the intersection upgrade as well. A consultant and DelDOT are studying this intersection to determine improvements needed. This project is a recommendation of the City. 11._Loockerman Street/Forest Street Intersection This project was requested by the City to help spur redevelopment activities in the Downtown Development District while also improving traffic circulation and safety. It was identified as a needed improvement through the Restoring Central Dover Study and the Westside Redevelopment Study conducted in 2001. It is also complementary to the recommendations of the Capital Gateway Study addressing the Forest Street/Route 8 corridor. It would result in improved traffic circulation, a more pedestrian-friendly zone at the railroad crossings and create a new “gateway” into the Downtown. Because of opposition to the intersection design option (roundabout), work on this project is being deferred and no funding is allocated in the CTP at this time. 12. Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension This project reflects the continuing growth of Delaware State University, commercial development in the area, and future development possibilities involving the Dover Mall and adjoining properties. The project was proposed to continue the improved right-of-way of Crawford Carroll Avenue from West Rustic Lane in a southerly direction to the site where HomeGoods and PetSmart are located and then connect to US Route 13 via a signalized intersection. It would provide access between the DSU Learning and Living Commons facility and the main campus as an alternate to using US 13. DelDOT has expressed concern about the feasibility of the original proposal, however, the City requests that service road connections on the west side of US 13 continue to be addressed even if the original design should not be achievable. This project has been removed from the most recent DelDOT Capital Transportation Plan (FY 21-FY 26 Spending Plan).
